Know Love or No Love

What?

What if...

What if we could?

What if we could take away the world's pain?

What if we could replace it with something good?

Something better.

Something different.

Something new.

What if the world lived without loss?

Without poverty.

Without hunger.

 

In this world I would strip away the hatred.

I would bring back a light of hope.

Daily, people feel everyone else's hate.

 

THE WORLD NEEDS TO BE HAPPY

THE WORLD MUST KNOW LOVE

PEACE

JOY

TO FIND A GOD ABOVE

 

Why?

Why can't...

Why can't we?

Why can't we come together?

Why can't we forget color?

Orientation.

Gender.

 

THE PEOPLE ARE STARING EMPTY

INTO SPACE 

THEY'RE LOST

THEY'RE LONELY

THEY DON'T KNOW THEIR PLACE

 

When?

When will...

When will they see?

That the only ones who can save this world 

Are the ones who stand crowded on our crumbling land

The ones who watch the stars crash down

And the ones who have never,

And will never know love.
